What the MIAC (conveniently) forgot to include

First off I apologize this isn’t my usual in depth blog post on an issue, but its something I thought should be mentioned.  By now nearly everyone has heard of the MIAC report which profiles among others supporters of Ron Paul, the campaign for liberty, and third parties as potential militant threats.

When criticized, the study’s authors defended the ‘findings’ with the response that this report did not constitute field guidelines for officers and was simply meant as an informational overview of groups that demonstrate a trend towards militant behavior.  Something along those lines, I’m not looking at the exact quote right now but regardless it was obvious bureaucratic nonsense.  Here is why:

In reading through the extensive list of potential domestic terrorists, and considering the study’s ‘guidelines’ for inclusion, I think two groups REALLY need to be added to the list, almost without question. The reason being that not only do both of these groups fit the required criteria as listed by the study, but do so to a greater extent than those groups that were included.

Statistics show that greater than 98% of all violent crimes within the U.S.are perpetrated by these two groups alone, and so for them not to have been profiled with the rest demonstrates a willing maliciousness among the study’s compilers to attack the reputation of the groups mentioned above.

Who are the two forgotten groups?
DEMOCRATS and REPUBLICANS
